ARTICLESHIP A BAD PHASE OF LIFE

Brother, dont take tension. Sometimes we think that articleship in big CA Firms provide us an opportunity to learn new things. Bt I am not agree with such kind of thinking. In Big CA firms sometimes articles even dont know the CA under whom they are pursuing their articleship. They know only their seniors. Whereas, in many small CA Firms there is also lot of work to do and to learn new things. At least in such kind of firms, an artilce remains in contact of his/her Principal CA. He/She Can easily discuss with them the doubts in his/her mind.

So I advice u that if u want to be a CA soon then concentrate on your CA Studies first and to remove the tension, join another firm, where u can find sufficient work to do and to learn... Bt the most important is your study. Dont let it be loose at any point of time. If u become a CA, only then you can make a difference...So Keep Smiling and Have Faith in yourself.

All the Best

hello deepak.....its really a bad experience with u...but u r not the single person facing these type of things....so dont lose confidence....u have just spent 10 months in the firm....but after 1 or 1.5 year u will be senior and at that time the things may not remain same......this happens in all big CA firms where the new articles are handed over to the seniors and they get exploited...but if the condition is so worse u must transfer to some other firms.......when u will become a CA then I think u will forget all these things....so now keep studying and dont lose uor confidence......
Best Of Luck...

I agree To both of above persons.......

Dont take tension yaar...... try to adopt Gandhigiri at Office......... & concentrates on ur studies.....

May i knw d name f firm.......

if u dont to want to tell openly.u can send me a PM also.......

Don't take any tenstion yaar

It is the 1st round of the Biggest game

So Have patience and do everything till the winning og this game but

"Jab tak paani sar ke upar na aajaye"

1. Getting print outs from printer for my seniors
2. Writing his mails
3. Ticking same documents again and again
4. Filing papers
5. Giving files to my seniors from shelfs
6. Getting scoldings from all my CAs

these things are ok a general practice but other things r unacceptable. U should not serve water to seniors or clients (u can do it if u feel like doing it that is if u r frnds with the senior)

REFUSE POINT BLANK TELL THEM U R NOT AN OFFICE BOY OR HIS SERVENT

just ignore them and refuse to do these kind of things

R u the only junior artical there ???

what is d name of ur firm

send me a PM i vl tell u my experiance

Hi Deepak

According to me take transfer and join a good CA FIRM where u can learn work.

I have also gone through bad phase in my own Articleship where i would say that i was doing a job of a peon in a CA firm and i have all my problems with the principle. You can think as much as u can of what could be done in the job of a peon but i can assure u cannot reach upto 100% of what i can say. Comparing to me ur problems are not even 10% of what i was facing in my firm.

So take this as a lesson of your entire life and move forward and do not give self respect at any cost.

BEST OF LUCK.

hey, dnt worry so much....

its jus a phase of life..

n in articleship not evry1 bt a lot of ppl have shared these kinda experiences...

jus chill n maintain a good rapport with ur seniors...

n dnt forget 1 thng,

ONE DAY U R GOING TO BE A SENIOR !!!!

ENJOY...

thanks for all of your replies...
 

But until I complete my articleship ,they would taken out each drop of my blood.
 

I am not able to take things lightly,thats the main problem.
I have been cribbing abt things since i started my articleship
But i have so much fear in my mind that i have never said or shared things with anyone.

I WANT TO OVERCOME  MY  FEAR OF SENIORS.
 

Anyways i have never thought of a TRANSFER.I am not weak from inside but i dont know how to confront people in outside world.

I want to FIGHT AND WIN but dont know the right direction to take things and move on. 

I appreciate all your replies.

Thanks......

I 100% agree with Raksh*t

u should not serve water to seniors or cliants

Refuse this and tell them a straight u r not a office boy

and say "I am here for make me a Chartered Accountant (CA) not Cartoon Artist (CA)"

Best of luck

I understand ur problem and

I will try to solve ur problem

Dear Deepak,

Don't loose confidence, Such things happen in all profession . I am a surgeon and during our housepost we have to work 24*7 365 days, it includes all sorts of work including work of wardboy and ayabais to senior surgeon. Actually you should become indispensable for everybody in office so that even one day of your absence should pinch them for daily routine activity. Even after starting private practice we have to do same sort of minor work for which we can't afford to keep servants in initial phase. This is the phase of learning in life and comes only once in lifetime. So enjoy the work, don't underestimate yr self.

hi..deepak...i would recomend u to join some other firm which may giv u lots of oppourtunity in ue lif....u r an article not a peon...u r spoiling ur studies also...dont loose ur confidence...to avoid more wrost situation...tak any step as soon as possible...finally i will tell u join other firm and start ur studies..u wil start enjoying ur lif...please send me a PM relating to what action u hav taken..bye bye

Dear Deepak,

Don't loose hope. Things will be all right. As Tarun said you may join some other firm.

Good Luck Buddy...

Hey Deepak,

I can understand your feelings. But I hope you have not started thinking like you have chosen wrong field or profession. It is not the case.

I would share my experience with you. In my first 1.5 years of articleship, I worked in a small CA Firm. Exposure wise not bad but boss was very 'khadush'. I was in audits mainly. I started feeling that this audit is boring and I wont do it in future. However last 9 months after completing CA Final, I did my articleship from other midsize CA Firm which is a very well known CA Firm, and I liked audit and related work so much that now i have decided to go for my own practice and do all this only. So it is a matter of time. And my personal feeling is one should work only at the place where he likes to work and he or she enjoys working there. So change your firm and go in such a firm where u can get variety of experience with some responsibility. You may have to search for this firm and it can be a mid sized firm but it can achieve your objective.

This is just an opinion and also sharing of my experience so don't mind if you didnt like this message.
